Where am I, where am I going

Contemporary fable: Where am I, where am I going Digital video 2021 Within intimate relationships, domestic violence may be constant or happen only once. Domestic violence, sexual abuse, mental abuse and other criminal behaviours are often difficult to detect due to the privacy of the crime scene and the concealment of the criminal act. Also, it is difficult to prove to outsiders that the victim suffered controlling behaviour and even bodily harm. So the cycle of violence within intimate relationships may always exist. This video shows how the spirit of women who have experienced domestic violence is destroyed step by step even as they try to ask for help. Opening at a telephone booth, we watch a girl as she wanders the streets, accompanied by inexplicable scars, burning roses, endless traffic and repetitious behaviour until she is back at the telephone booths. She doesn't know where she is nor where she is going. She floats somewhere between sobriety and vagueness. Intimate violence hurts the people we are closest to and being in a relationship where it is happening is like running to stand still. I hope the video will help others to wake up to the true cost of violence in intimate relationships.
